Potential E-Mail problems with the Principality!
26 June - 30 June 2008


 

Our supporting server company underwent a huge hardware and software upgrade over the last couple of days.
Late yesterday June 26, some representatives of the Principality began to experience problems sending/receiving e-mails through the Principality's own e-mail hosting service, allocated to authorised representatives of the Principality.
Investigations have led today, to the finding of a problem at the server which will be rectified over this weekend in a number of stages.
The rectification I am assured, will have been completed by lunchtime western standard time on Monday 30 June 2008.
 
In the meantime, some users of Principality e-mail addresses may not be able to access the receiving of e-mails, though most of those should be able to send.
Please bear this information in mind should any problem seem to occur regarding these addresses.
The problem should only exist for a few users between 26 June and 30 June by which time all will have been fixed.
 
Should any e-mails not have been retrieved before this problem occurred, they will be waiting to be collected on Monday, I should advise however that there may be a period Monday morning where any mails sent to any Principality hosted addresses may be "bounced" and returned to sender as undelivered. This, if it happens, should only last for a window of an hour or two.
 
There is also a chance that the Principality home website at www.principality-hutt-river.com and it's mirrored sites may also go down, for an hour or two on Monday morning, though I have been assured that chances of that happening are very slim.
 
It is unfortunate that this problem has occurred but we at the Principality realise that sometimes things just "don't go right" and this is one of those times.
The Principality is one of a relatively small number of clients that has been discovered to have been affected in this way.
 
All will be back to normal Monday June 30, 1pm, Western Standard time.
 
Should anyone still be experiencing problems with Principality e-mail addresses after Monday Lunch, Western Standard time, then please do not hesitate to drop me a mail at hrpwebmasters@principality-hutt-river.com  this address should remain operational throughout the period so please e-mail if we can be of assistance.
 
Webmasters.
